Got questions for The Black Keys?

What a difference a year and an album can make. Last year, when Summerfest booked blues rock duo The Black Keys to headline the Marcus Amphitheater, Summerfest VP of Entertainment Bob Babisch was concerned the Keys alone wouldn't be a big-enough draw for the 23,000-seat space. He got Florence + The Machine to open, and the show turned out to be one of the Big Gig's best sellers.

That was before December's "El Camino," the Key's most accessible and successful album. Not only have the Keys graduated to arena headliners, the band's current tour should be one of the year's biggest, Ray Waddell, executive director of content and programming, touring and live entertainment, for Billboard, told me.

So Black Key lovers, is there anything you've been dying to ask the band? Post your suggested questions in the comments below, or you can send them my way via email (Levypeter@aol.com) or Twitter (@PietLevy). I'll see if I can get some of your questions answered.

Try to send them my way by 9 a.m. Wednesday, May 9 if you can.
